GARDAI investigating the murder of Kieran Keane and the attempted murder of his nephew Owen Treacy almost 18 years ago has arrested a man.
Kieran Keane, 36, died after being shot in the head in an execution-style homicide near Drombanna on January 29, 2003. Owen Treacy, who was 31 at the time, was stabbed 17 times and left for dead on a country road.
The investigation is one of the largest ever launched in Limerick, and Gardai says a man, in his 40s, was arrested Tuesday morning as part of their investigations.
“The man was arrested pursuant to a warrant issued by a District Court judge and was taken to Roxboro Road Garda Station, Limerick, where he is currently detained under the provisions of Section 42 of the Justice Act 1999 criminal, “said a spokesman.
An Garda Síochána says they will not comment further at this time.
Five men are currently serving life sentences after they were convicted in December 2003 of the murder of Kieran Keane and the attempted murder of Owen Treacy.
